Chapter 20: Battle against an elf

After Elysia finished preparing herself, the interrogation began.

"First question. Are you really a human?" She asked me with squinted eyes.

What kind of question is that? Is she really that reluctant to lose against a human in the "Connection to nature" thing?

Whatever...

"Yeah, I'm a human"

She just nodded with a grim look on her face while muttering under her breath "... Damn it..."

Heh

"Alright, moving onto the second question, what are your motives for entering our territory human?"

"I entered by accident while I was escaping from a horde of monsters after I failed to reach a nearby village before the night fell. So I don't have any motives to be here except for the fact that I was abducted by the guys behind me"

After the group heard what I said, their eyebrows twitched in annoyance, but they still remained silent.

"Is that all?" She asked me while massaging her chin and looking at me with dubious eyes.

"Yeah... I don't know what more do you expect"

"Well, the border of the human territory is pretty far from here, so even if you entered our borders by accident it doesn't make sense that you walked from such a far away place to this city"

Ah...

"Well... because I didn't have any map of this place I ended up lost. And after picking a random direction I ended up traveling further into the Elf territory by accident..."

...

*Pfft*

...

Did she just laughed at me?!

However, before I could even confirm my suspicions her expression returned to normal.

"Alright, as for the last question... Do you harbor any malicious intention towards us elves?"

"That could depend on your actions, but for now I do not harbor any hostile intention towards you guys nor do I plan to do something bad while being here" I said while eyeing the elves behind me.

After answering the questions The woman named Elysia stayed silent for a while with her eyes closed.

Soon the blue ball of light emerged from my head and flew towards her hand

She positioned her hands around the magic ball and meditated for a few seconds before relaxing her posture and opening her eyes.

"... Sigh... Alright, everything you said was true, so I guess you are free to do anything you want from now on Mr Human"

"My name is Aspen, not human" I said while standing up and stretching my limbs.

"I see, sorry for my lack of manners. My name is Elysia Rossette" She said while bowing lightly

Finally.

I am free to leave this place.

Or that's what I thought...

"Then sir Aspen, could you accept to have a duel with me?" The guy who seemed to be leader of the group of elves said to me while bowing lightly.

Oh no... here comes a battle junkie. The prophecy was true.

"Alyem was it? I don't see why could you suddenly want to fight me" I said while trying to suppress my annoyed expression.

"I saw you using Nature control magic, and there's also the fact that you have such a big connection to nature, so... I wanted to know how much strength you have..."

How strong I am?

That's right, how strong I am compared to an elf?

I mean my strength already surpassed what was possible for a normal human, but... how far am i from an elf? How strong am I compared to a race that manages to survive easily in this horrible world?

Thinking it like that... maybe a spar wasn't that bad of an idea.

...

"...Sigh... Alright, where will it be anyways?" I said shrugging.

"In the hunter barracks, we have a fighting arena for spars like this" He said while gesturing me to follow him. Meanwhile, the other guys just followed us from behind.

...

It took us a while, but after some minutes we ended up arriving at the arena.

It wasn't that spectacular, instead of what I thought it could be something similar to a coliseum ended up being a small rectangular flat area surrounded by wood fences.

While we entered the arena and prepared ourselves for the spar, some people arrived to see us fight and started cheering for us.

"Come on little human! Do your best!"

"You can do it Mr. human, just try to survive for at least a few seconds!"

"Make it fun, human!"

Alright...

I'm getting quite pissed.

Elysia that came with us along stood up from her seat and explained the rules.

"You can fight using any weapon of your preferences, magic, or even use your bare fists if you want. The spar will end when one of you surrenders or passes out. That's all"

I took out my Deadly wooden sword and took my stance. Since this was just a spar then there was no need of using my silver sword.

He instead just took a normal bow and then proceeded to take his stance

I glanced into his eyes and his HP was displayed to me.
